I had such a crush on her after I saw Twins as a kid. Cancer sucks. I wonder if she was even treated. One of the hallmarks of Scientology is a big anti-medicine stance. There is a belief that if you are not well, that it is because YOU are not in a right place, so you don't need medical treatment to get better. https://www.mikerindersblog.org/l-ron-hubbard-on-cancer/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wegner 1,384 Posted July 14, 2020 For years, new episodes of Mythbusters was must see TV for my family. I hear today the very sad news that one of the Mythbusters' hosts, Grant Imahara, has died at the age of 49. He's probably up in heaven now creating a new Rube Goldberg machine. Rest in Peace, Grant.

I'm starting to notice the ages more. 85 versus 104. That's a big difference. In my thirties I'm certain I would have thought 85 sounds fine. Now, meh, I want 105 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lostfan 207 Posted August 29, 2020 Chadwick was obviously more than the T'Challa character but that role was such a cultural touchstone and carried so much weight. The man spent his last 4 years creating iconic art knowing he wasn't long for the world, suffering in silence. Sigh. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
